Objective To observe the protective effect of anthocyanin on irradiation induced bone marrow c-kit positive cell injury, and further explore its possible mechanism. Methods Mouse bone marrow c-kit positive cells were collected by cell sorting method. There were 2 groups: control group and anthocyanin group, which were sub-divided into three groups and received 0 Gy, 1 Gy and 4 Gy irradiation respectively. The control group was added 700μL cell suspension and an equal volume of serum-free hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell culture medium. The 2 × 10-5 mol/L anthocyanin was co-cultured with mouse bone marrow c-kit positive cells of anthocyanin group half an hour before irradiation exposure, then cells were cultured for 18 hours under the conventional culture conditions (37℃,5%CO2). Mouse c-kit positive cell viability was measured by bioluminescence, and which was reflected by relative light units (RLU). The ability of colony-forming units was reflected by CFU-GM. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) ofγ-H2AX were detected by flow cytometry. Results Compared to un-irradiated control group, the cell viability and the number of CFU-GM were decreased significantly, while the ROS level and MFI ofγ-H2AX were increased in c-kit positive cells irradiated with 1 Gy and 4 Gy (P<0.05). Compared to 1 Gy and 4 Gy irradiation groups, c-kit positive cell viability and the number of CFU-GM were increased, the ROS level and MFI of γ-H2AX were decreased in anthocyanin group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Anthocyanin exhibits a promising protective effect on radiation-induced bone marrow c-kit positive cell injury, which may be related to the alleviating ROS and DNA damage in bone marrow cells.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of whole body γ/-knife in patients with limited pancreatic carcinoma. Methods 111 patients with limited pancreatic carcinoma treated with the Stereotactie Gamma Ray Whole-Body Therapeutic System (Whole Body T-knife) were retrospectively an-alyzed. Patients were supine, fixed with a stereotactic body frame and vacuum bag, and then simulated by low-speed computed tomography. GTV, CTV and PTV were defined on the contrast-enhanced CT scans. It was required that 50% isedose line covered 100% of PTV and 70% isedose line covered more than 80% of GTV. The prescription dose was defined as 50% isodose. All patients were treated 5 fractions per week. The fractionated dose was 3-4 Gy for pancreatic head carcinoma, and 4-5 Gy for pancreatic body/tail carcino-ma. Irradiation of 40-51 Gy and 60-70 Gy were delivered to PTV and GTV margins, respectively. Re-suits The complete response rate, partial response rate and overall response rate of the primary tumors were 29.7%, 42.3% and 72.1%, respectively. The follow-up rate was 95.5%. The number of patients fol-lowed-up at 1-,2- and 3-year was 105,89 and 60. The 1-, 2- and 3-year overall survival rates were 49.3%,24.5% and 18.1%. For patients with stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ disease,the number of patients followed-up at 1-,2-,3-,4-and 5-year was 55,44,29,16 and 11 ;The 1-, 2-, 3-,4- and 5-year overall survival rates were 68%,34%, 30%, 21% and 17%, respectively. For patients with stage Ⅲ disease,the number of patients fol-lowed-up at 1-,2- and 3-year was 50,45 and 31 ;The 1-, 2- and 3-year overall survival rates were 28%,14% and 4%, respectively (χ~2=16.67, P=0.000). The acute side effects including nausea, vomiting and diarrhea were 71.2% of RTOG grade 1 -2 and 3.6% of RTOG grade 3. No treatment delay occurred.Conclusions With fractionated dose of 3-5 Gy,5 fractions per week and 40-51 Gy as total dose to PTV,whole body γ-knife is safe and effective to treat limited pancreatic carcinoma. The local control and overall survival could be improved.

Objective:To investigate the changes and their clinical values of renal oxygen saturation(RrSO 2) and abdominal local oxygen saturation(A-rSO 2) in infants who underwent cardiac surgery. Methods:Thirty children with atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect underwent cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in Henan People′s Hospital from April to August 2019 were randomly selected.There were 15 males and 15 females, aged 2-13 months, weighted 4.5-10.0 kg and American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) grade Ⅰ-Ⅲ.The probe of near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS)was fixed at the body surface of the right kidney and 1 cm below the umbilicus.RrSO 2 and A-rSO 2 were continuously monitored during operation.The changes of parameters, including RrSO 2, A-rSO 2, mean arte-rial pressure(MAP), and nose temperature were recorded after anesthesia induction (T 0), cardiopulmonary bypass (T 1), 5 minutes after aortic blockade (T 2), the lowest temperature (T 3), 5 minutes after aortic opening (T 4), and 5 minutes after stopping cardiopulmonary bypass (T 5). CPB time, ascending aorta occlusion time and operation time were recorded as well.Meanwhile, perioperative complications such as acute renal injury (AKI) and gastrointestinal dysfunction were recorded.Relevant information, including the time of first eating after operation was recorded. Results:Totally, 30 children were enrolled in this study.The basic values of RrSO 2 and A-rSO 2 were (70.00±7.50)% and (70.70±11.29)%, respectively.Compared with T 0, the RrSO 2 and A-rSO 2 of patients decreased at T 1, gradually increased at T 2, T 3 and T 4, and returned to T 0 at T 5.There was no significant difference in RrSO 2 and A-rSO 2 at each observation point. Pearson correlation analysis displayed that there was a positive correlation between A-rSO 2 and RrSO 2 ( r=0.806, P<0.01). RrSO 2 and A-rSO 2 were positively correlated with MAP ( r=0.565, 0.605, all P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the nasopharynx temperature ( r=-0.365, -0.331; all P<0.05). Among them, 3 children(10%) suffered from AKI after operation.Compared with T 0, RrSO 2 values at T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 4 decreased significantly ( P<0.05). Postoperative gastrointestinal hysteresis occurred in 6 children(20%). The A-rSO 2 value in T 0-T 5 of children with gastrointestinal hysteresis was significantly lower than that of children without gastrointestinal hysteresis ( P<0.05). Conclusions:As a new noninvasive monitoring method of renal and intestinal function, NIRS has certain clinical guiding value in perioperative period of infantile congenital heart disease.

Objective:
To investigate the influence of subchronic exposure to low-dose subchronic nano-nickel oxide (NNO) on the reproductive function of male rats and embryonic development of the pregnant rats.
METHODS:
Fifty normal healthy male SD rats weighing 180-220 g were randomly divided into five groups of equal number, negative control, 4 mg/ml micro-nickel oxide (MNO), and 0.16, 0.8 and 4 mg/ml NNO, those of the latter four groups exposed to MNO or NNO by non-contact intratracheal instillation once every 3 days for 60 days, and then all mated with normal adult female rats in the ratio of 1∶2. After the female animals were confirmed to be pregnant, the males were sacrificed and the weights of the body, testis and epididymis obtained, followed by calculation of the visceral coefficients, determination of epididymal sperm concentration and viability and the nickel contents in the blood and semen by atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The female rats were killed on the 20th day of gestation for counting of the implanted fertilized eggs and live, dead and resorbed fetuses.
RESULTS:
After 60 days of exposure, the rats of the NNO groups showed no statistically significant differences from those of the negative control and MNO groups in the weights of the body, testis and epididymis or visceral coefficients. Compared with the negative control group, the animals of the 0.8 and 4 mg/ml NNO groups exhibited markedly decreased sperm concentration ([9.36 ± 0.98] vs [7.49 ± 1.46] and [6.30 ± 1.36] ×10⁶/ml, P < 0.05) and viable sperm ([85.35 ± 9.16]% vs [68.26 ± 16.63]% and [65.88 ± 14.68] %, P < 0.05), increased morphologically abnormal sperm ([8.30 ± 2.47]% vs [13.99 ± 4.87]% and [15.38 ± 8.86] %, P < 0.05), and elevated rate of dead and resorbed fetuses (1.18% vs 6.89% and 7.37%, P < 0.05), blood nickel content ([0.13 ± 0.16] vs [0.52 ± 0.34] and [0.82 ± 0.44] mg/L, P < 0.05) and semen nickel content ([0.08 ± 0.13] vs [0.35 ± 0.23] and [0.63 ± 0.61] mg/L, P < 0.05). The nickel level in the semen was correlated significantly with that in the blood (r = 0.912, P <0.01), negatively with the rate of viable sperm (r = -0.879, P <0.01) and positively with the percentage of morphologically abnormal sperm (r = -0.898, P <0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
Sixty-day exposure to nano-nickel oxide at 0.8 and 4 mg/ml can produce reproductive toxicity in male rats and result in fetal abnormality in the females, while that at 0.16 mg/ml has no significant toxic effect on the reproductive function of the males.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the morphological and hemodynamic parameters associated with middle cerebral artery (MCA)bifurcation aneurysm rupture. METHODS: A retrospective study of 67 consecutive patients was carried out based on 3D digital subtraction angiography data. Morphological and hemodynamic parameters including aneurysm size parameters (dome width, height, and perpendicular height), longest dimension from the aneurysm neck to the dome tip, neck width, aneurysm area, aspect ratio, Longest dimension from the aneurysm neck to the dome tip (Dmax) to dome width, and height-width, Bottleneck factor, as well as wall shear stress (WSS), low WSS area (LSA), percentage of LSA (LSA%) and energy loss (EL) were estimated. Parameters between ruptured and un-ruptured groups were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristics were generated to check prediction performance of all significant variables. RESULTS: Sixty-seven patients with MCA bifurcation aneurysm were included (31 unruptured, 36 ruptured). Dmax (p=0.008) was greater in ruptured group than that in un-ruptured group. D/W (p<0.001) and the percentage of the low WSS area (0.09±0.13 vs. 0.01±0.03, p<0.001) were also greater in the ruptured group. Moreover, the EL in ruptured group was higher than that in un-ruptured group (6.39±5.04 vs. 1.53±0.86, p<0.001). Multivariate regression analysis suggested D/W and EL were significant predictors of rupture of MCA bifurcation aneurysms. Correlation analyses revealed the D/W value was positively associated with the EL (R=0.442, p<0.01). CONCLUSION: D/W and EL might be the most two favorable factors to predict rupture risk of MCA bifurcation aneurysms.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of amifostine(Amf)on the differentiation of human megakaryocyte cell line-Dami. METHODS Dami cells were treated with Amf 0.01-5.0 mmol · L-1 for 12 d. Dami cells were counted every day for the growth curve:only cells with a diameter>20μm. The platelet demarcation membrane system was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The expression of CD33,CD34,CD41a and DNA ploidy was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS Amf 0.1-1.0 mmol · L-1 promoted the differentiation of Dami cells ,but inhibited their proliferation at a concentration>1.0 mmol · L-1. When these cells were treated with Amf 1.0 mmol · L-1 for 12 d,the platelet demarcation membrane system was observed,the percentage of cells with a diameter >20 μm was increased by 24.6%(P<0.01),the expression of CD41a was increased by 11.9%,while the expression of CD33 was decreased by 13.6%(P<0.05). Polyploidy cells(16N)were observed,and 4N,8N and 16N cells were increased to 31.56%,8.83% and 3.43%,respectively(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Amf 0.1-1.0 mmol · L-1 can promote the differentiation of Dami cells,but inhibit their proliferation at a high concentration(>1.0 mmol·L-1).

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of combination of intranasal dexmedetomidine and esketamine for preoperative sedation in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease.Methods:Fifty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ pediatric patients, aged 1-3 yr, undergoing elective cardiac surgery for left-to-right shunt type congenital heart diseases, were divided into dexmedetomidine group (group D, n=25) or dexmedetomidine combined with esketamine group (group DK, n=25) using a random number table method.Dexmedetomidine 3.9 μg/kg was intranasally delivered in group D. Dexmedetomidine 3.3 μg/kg combined with esketamine 2 mg/kg was intranasally administered in group DK.The Children′s Hospital of Wisconsin Sedation Scale score, SpO 2, HR, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PAP) were recorded before and at 30 min after administration, and the rate of decrease in SpO 2, HR and PAP after administration was calculated.The onset time of sedation and occurrence of adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting, bradycardia and respiratory depression during sedation were recorded. Results:Inadequate sedation and over-sedation were not observed in either group.Compared with group D, Children′s Hospital of Wisconsin Sedation Scale scores were significantly decreased at 30 min after administration, the onset time of sedation was shortened, and the decrease rate of HR was decreased in group DK ( P<0.05), and there were no significant changes in HR, SpO 2 and PAP before and after administration ( P>0.05). In group DK, nausea and vomiting occurred in 2 cases, but the symptoms were mild and no medication intervention was needed.No other adverse effects such as bradycardia and respiratory depression were found in either group. Conclusion:Combination of intranasal dexmedetomidine and esketamine can optimize the efficacy of preoperative sedation in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, esketamine may induce nausea and vomiting, and the fasting time should be strictly controlled during sedation.
